Fulfillment From Fanfic

[lettered]

Does writing fanfiction make you happy?

Of course it does. That's why you do it. If that's not why you do it, don't tell me.

But what I want to know is, is it a happy that staves off boredom and is entertaining, rather than a happy that makes you want to jump up and down and run in circles and smile all the time because you're secretly thinking of what you're going to write next? Is it the kind of happy that makes it so you can't wait to sit down in front of your computer so you can see what happens next? Is it the kind of happy that every once in a while makes you bursty feeling?

I hope it is.

It's interesting, the divide between pain and pleasure most people are talking about in writing. I do agree that there's nothing worse than forcing yourself to write; it makes me sick inside. But boy do I love the bursty feeling, when it comes!
